Vanguards of the War of Resistance! Let's travel back in time together, classmates!

034 Providing timely help

"Huh? What...weapons and ammunition."

Upon hearing this, Song Baichuan was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Brother Shangguan, do you have a source of weapons and ammunition?"

"Indeed, I am willing to provide free support to our mountain stronghold."

Four Type 91 machine guns.

One Type 92 heavy machine gun,

50 Type 38 rifles

Three boxes of grenades, 150 in total.

The current value is 6000.

Bullets fired.

Two grenade launchers, four boxes of artillery shells...

"For use in preparation for war, hehe..." he said, then looked at everyone with a smile.

"Hiss..." Everyone present gasped, as if struck by lightning. What did this mean? The Type 38 rifle was the standard rifle used by the Japanese regular army. It was not comparable to the old Hanyang rifles. Fifty rifles at once, damn, four Type 96 light machine guns and two grenade launchers. This should be equivalent to the firepower of a Japanese company.

Moreover, the Japanese only had heavy machine guns at the battalion level, which was alarming, and they even had ammunition...

This time I've struck it rich...

Shangguan Yun, who had been silent until now, has made a name for himself. First, he made a name for himself at the shooting range, which shocked everyone. Then he was promoted to instructor, a position second only to the three chieftains. Now he has produced such a large batch of weapons. He is truly a man who does not reveal his true abilities.

Leaving aside everyone's astonishment, the Song father and son were stunned into silence upon hearing this, only to be followed by wild joy...

Song Dalong stepped forward and grabbed Shangguan Yun's shoulder. "Hahaha... Brother Shangguan, is what you say true? If so, what do we Song Family Village have to fear from those little devils? Hahahaha..."

Song Baichuan stood up and laughed loudly, "Just as the instructor said, the strength of my Song Family Village has greatly increased. With this batch of weapons and ammunition, even if the Japanese come with a company, I will not be afraid. I wonder where this batch of weapons is currently stored..."

Shangguan Yun chuckled and said, "Boss, there's no need to be in a hurry. Give me a few carriages tonight, and I'll take a few brothers out for a trip. We'll deliver them to you before dawn, hehe..."

"Alright...haha...in that case, I, Song, will thank Brother Shangguan on behalf of the elders of this village..."

Then he loudly proclaimed, "Starting tomorrow, Brother Shangguan's weapons and ammunition will be delivered to the mountain stronghold. Everyone must obey Instructor Shangguan's arrangements. Personnel training, firepower configuration, and all matters concerning the defense of the stronghold must be done in accordance with Instructor Shangguan's orders..."

"Great..." Everyone was excited. Of course, who wouldn't be happy to be given so many weapons for no reason? Compared to these weapons, the stuff in the stockade's warehouse was just trash.

"Tell Aunt Zhang in the kitchen to slaughter an extra sheep tonight, so we can have a feast and everyone can drink to their hearts' content, haha..." Song Baichuan said with great joy.

The crowd cheered and jumped for joy. Zhao Peng rubbed his hands together, walked over with a lewd look on his face, and smiled at Shangguan Yun:

"Hehe... Instructor... this Type 38 rifle... hehe, how do you plan to distribute it, hehe... this machine gun... firepower... how should it be configured... hehe...."

Shangguan Yun pursed his lips and said, "This...?" His eyes were fixed on the roof.

“You should ask Brother Min about this, because I’m planning to have him arrange these weapons. Brother Min was a captain and company commander in the Northeast Army back then. Only by entrusting this matter to him can we make the best use of them, right, Brother Min…” As she spoke, she looked at Min Wenqian beside her.

"Oh? Haha... No problem. Since Instructor Shangguan has given the order, I, Min Wenqian, will do my best..."

Seeing this, Song Baichuan quickly said, "In that case, Company Commander Min, please condescend to temporarily serve as the deputy battalion commander and assist Brother Shangguan. What do you think?"

“I am not very talented, but I am willing to do my best…” Min Wenqian said solemnly.

After dinner, Song Dalong arranged three large carts for Shangguan Yun, each pulled by two horses, and assigned three drivers to accompany Shangguan Yun out of the south gate of the stronghold, heading straight for the boundary bridge.

Shangguan Yun then summoned the three Zhang brothers, Min Wenqian, and others. The eight of them mounted fast horses, drove the carriage, and headed south...

Everyone was extremely excited along the way. Shangguan Yun had already collected the weapons of several people before arriving at the mountain stronghold, but he had not revealed them. The others knew the implications and had not asked why. Only today did they learn that Shangguan Yun had such a large amount of weapons. They were all in high spirits and beaming with joy.

After walking for more than ten miles, the group stopped. Shangguan Yun said, "Brother Min and I will scout ahead. You wait here. We'll call you when we confirm it's safe."

The group stopped and rested on the spot, while Shangguan Yun and his companion rode forward at full speed.

After traveling several miles, they stopped their horses. "Hey... Brother Min, we can't go any further. Dismount and follow me."

As they talked, the two dismounted and entered the nearby woods, where they tied their horses to trees.

He walked around and looked at an empty space next to him. "Hmm, this will do..."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and whoosh... a pile of weapons and ammunition came into Min Wenqian's view.

"Ah..." Min Wenqian exclaimed, realizing that it was indeed true. The things that disappeared that day had actually reappeared in front of him, and there were many more of them.

Although I was mentally prepared, I was still shocked by everything that happened so suddenly, and I swallowed hard.

"Brother, this is terrifying... such a massive transport... From now on, you'll have to protect me, is this some kind of legendary divine magic...?" After saying that, he looked at Shangguan Yun expectantly.

"Hehe, Brother Min, there's no need for that. As long as you keep your mouth shut and don't tell anyone about what happened today, it's not difficult for me to give you a great opportunity, haha..."

"In that case, I've chosen the right person to follow. Rest assured, I, Min Wenqian, swear to heaven that I will never reveal a word of this to anyone in this lifetime. From now on, I will be at your service, Brother Shangguan, without any complaints... Haha..."

The two exchanged a smile, and Min Wenqian then walked out of the woods to call the others over.

Soon after, the others arrived. They were shocked and then extremely excited to see the weapons and ammunition scattered all over the ground.

Then everyone loaded all the equipment onto the carriage. These things were quite heavy, and the two-horse carriage made a creaking sound, leaving deep ruts behind it.

To create a time lag and make things seem plausible, Shangguan Yun lied and stayed in the woods with Min Wenqian a little longer before notifying everyone to come and move the items. So no one suspected anything, since the system's affairs couldn't be known by too many people.

Min Wenqian only had a vague understanding; he only knew that Shangguan Yun was no ordinary person, possessing many extraordinary abilities that ordinary people could not, enough to make him willing to risk his life to follow him...

Meanwhile, Shangguan Yun was planning his next move.

Supporting Songjiazhai was just the first step in his rise. He wasn't in a hurry; with the Japanese as his best sparring partner, achieving his goal wouldn't be difficult.
